Excel.Application object

[Agoston Bejo]

Hi,
is there a way to use the Excel.Application ActiveX object on server side (I
mean in ASP) without installing Excel itself? What I'm thinking about is if
it is enough to copy a dll onto the server or something similar. Are there
maybe other objects to manipulate Excel files? (I need only basic
functionality, i.e. opening a file, modifying some cells, thing like this.)

Thx,
Gus

You can use ADO (or ADO.NET) and the MS OLEDB Provider for Jet to
modify data in an Excel workbook without opening it.
